Long distance commuters can pick up an extra gallon of gas with every tank full when they reduce the drag coefficient of their vehicle by 5%. City drivers can expect about 1/2 that. GasPods are the quickest and easiest means we know for substantially contributing toward that reduction.More Info>>>

GasPods are the quickest and easiest way to cut your cost of fuel from driving. In the US, our annual average expenditure is close to $2,000 per year. Reducing that by 5% adds an extra Ben Franklin ($100 bill) to your pocket. Savings can be even higher for long distance commuters. By addressing aerodynamics, GasPods offer an easy and economical solution to make your vehicle more energy efficient, whether new or old, whether fueled by gas, diesel, electricity, or any other means.More Info>>>

Stated simply, 97 gallons of water are required to produce 1 gallon of gasoline, 63 gallons of water to make 1 gallon of diesel. Mining and processing tar sands and shale oil requires 4 times more water to produce fuel than consumed in processing from existing conventional oil reserves. That’s where GasPods come in, by making vehicles more aerodynamic, they will burn less fuel, there’s the potential to save gallons upon gallons of water!More Info>>>

What does this mean for the World? If just 133 drivers who commute to-and-from work or school reduce their fuel consumption by 5%, it would prevent enough CO2 from entering the atmosphere to fill Chicago’s Willis Tower, the tallest building in North America.More Info>>>

Hello, I’m Ernie Brooks. I’m a photographer. I love the Ocean Planet.

We’re here in Santa Barbara, California, at the Jefferson Campus which is one of the homes of Brooks Institute, overlooking the beautiful Channel Islands, Anacapa, Santa Cruz, San Miguel and Santa Rosa - just beautiful.

Just like the design of what I am holding in my hand here. This is called a GasPod. This Volkswagen by specification should be getting about 46 mpg. With this design here, on this vessel, GasPod takes the airflow and rids itself of all this burble that is behind here and makes it flow smoothly. I get up to 50 mpg. That’s my average. Driving down from Seattle to Santa Barbara where we are here today I get up to 56 mpg.

Each one of us needs to do our part to make a difference and make a change. And, this is one way here. This is a beginning.

I just returned from the high Arctic, photographing the breaking up of the ice that is there. And you can see the difference that is happening to our Planet. We’re going through global warming. We really are. There is no denying it. And the carbon that is in our atmosphere can be reduced. Just think of one thing right here: By getting better mileage, by having better air flow. and having a design that can make a difference.

Commit yourself to something that is as important as this. By making the planet a place we can all be proud of for our grandchildren, great grandchildren and beyond.
Good luck to you, and make a difference.

Today, on the planet, there are 2 billion automobiles that are releasing CO2 in the atmosphere which is really contributing to some of the problems we have to deal with today. And, the CO2 affects the Ocean, the acidification of the Ocean. We are in trouble if we don’t change, if we don’t come up with new ways of adapting to the pressure that we have created on the planet. And there are huge opportunities. And one of them is for every one of us to put on our automobiles a GasPod.

A GasPod will give you a chance to not only increase the aerodynamics of your automobiles, but you will be able to make more miles per gallon and at the end of the day, you, I will save money.

We have a unique opportunity to make a difference, to protect our future. We are the only species on the planet that has the privilege of deciding not to disappear. And in the process we are helping our economy. We are helping every one of us. We’re going to save money and we’re protecting the environment.

Every one of us can make a difference. Be atmospheric. Protect the environment. Save Money. And, everybody wins.

Be atmospheric.

What ABC News Has To Say About GasPods!

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -
To get more mileage out of your engine, many people pour an additive from a can into the gas tank. A local businessman has come up with an invention that appears to save gas and increase the efficiency of your vehicle.

The small plastic "Gas Pod" can be added to the back of your car with a magnet or an adhesive. It changes the air flow over the top of your vehicle and, with less drag, you get more mileage per tank of gas. On most vehicles you will need nine to work the best, after months of testing.

It's been tried on vehicles in Santa Barbara at Ablitt's Cleaners and The Berry Man produce. Employees say they are not filling up as much since the pods were attached.

"We looked at the numbers we did the math and it was right there in black and white," said Les Clark with The Berry Man. "Now since then, one of my salesmen told me this morning he has absolutely noticed the difference, he's not filling up as often and he's noticed a difference."

The inventor Bob Evans say the KIA SUV's purchased by The Berry Man are perfect for the small pods to line up on the back lip above the window. Gas mileage can increase from two to 17 percent depending on the vehicle and the type of driving you do.

"It is a phenominal product for when it comes down to the environment, and Santa Barbara the founder of Earth Day, if we can get five million cars in Southern California by next summer you can imagine the savings we can quantify." said Evans.
